Biography
Working for the Borgia
During his life, Lanz fell in love with a woman, and they were to have a child. However, the baby was miscarried and Lanz fell into a depression. Some time after, he joined up with the Cento Occhi gang, a gathering of young thieves that often clashed with the Roman Thieves Guild, and resorted to "pushing men from buildings." Some time later, he progressed to become the gang's leader.[1]
In 1503, he was visited by Fiora Cavazza, who had come representing Cesare Borgia, shortly after he and his gang had robbed a carriage belonging to the House of Borgia. At first, Lanz paid no mind to the woman, but he soon realized that she was aware that he was the one responsible after she threw a familiar knife at his feet. Fearing the Borgia, he offered to return the money, but was instead enlisted into their service, where he and the Cento Occhi would deliver several payments for them.[2]

That same year, Lanz's wife also fell into a depression and called for him to return to her, or she would take her own life. She stood upon a rooftop, and planned to throw herself off when Lanz arrived, to remind him of the man he once was.[1]
However, the Assassin Ezio Auditore found her first, and was able to prevent her from committing suicide. He reassured her, saying that she should not take the responsibility for Lanz's deeds, and that he would take care of Lanz for her.[1]
Ezio searched the south-west tip of the Centro district for Lanz, and eventually found him free-running across the buildings. While Lanz had spotted the Assassin and fled, Ezio pursued him until he came within range and assassinated him with his Hidden Blade.[1]
